My thumb keeps twitching

[Not_Giving_Up]

Never done this before....why is this happening?

[Hieronymus]

1. My doctor just told me it's a nerve impulse.........

nothing to worry about.

2. So, I'm not going to die?

I get muscle spasms in my back that involve major twitching....Never had it in my thumb before.

3. eat a banana

potassium deficiency can do that.

then again, so can a lot of things, but the banana cure is the tastiest, so hopefully that's it.

mmmm, bananas, <drooool>.

7. Go get it checked out

Most likely it's nothing, but a number of neurological disorders can cause twitching.
